====== Description ======

ISCI 448 allows you to carry out an individual research project under the supervision and guidance of a faculty member. The research is usually lab- or field-based, although more theory-based “library” projects are also allowed. Directed Studies is best undertaken in your fourth year so you can apply a broad range of knowledge and experience from other classes to your project. The nature and scope of the project is to be negotiated between you and the prospective supervisor – see below for guidelines.
